Are you sure about Sussex not being able to qualify? Presumably the top 4 make it to the QFs.

Yes their games have finished

 

[CartyDurham]

Only 14 games a season @wpdavid

Oh, OK. I had wrongly assumed that they play each other twice.

 

[CartyDurham]

It’s classic ecb confusing everyone

the QFs are this coming week and it will be all decided who qualifies tomorrow afternoon and evening

 

[Aidan11]

Oh, OK. I had wrongly assumed that they play each other twice.

That would be a sensible thing to do.

The ECB don't do sensible.

 

[Third_Man]

Oh, OK. I had wrongly assumed that they play each other twice.

If only ... doesn't happen in the county championship so why should it in a crash, bang, wallop competition .... as long as it entertains, doesn't matter who wins. Warwickshire, if they qualify for the finals will always have home advantage - why not.

There’s the menu for today. Streams on the afternoon and possibly the Somerset game on sky , which is showing a game but no details on my planner

Thank you mate

niche stat, but I wonder if that's the highest t20 score whilst only using 5 bowlers, normally a team would try to change it up you'd have thought.

Has the QF draw been made ?

I'm told it's Somerset v Notts & Birmingham v Kent/Essex.

I wonder why they're not showing Surrey.

Strange as lancs and Surrey are normally a shoe in for sky coverage

ill probably watch the Lancs game on their decent streaming service

I’ll watch the Somerset on Skygo on the tablet

Lewis Gregory being back helps us immensely with bat and ball, hopefully looking good.

Best team I’ve seen this season Somerset

of course T20 can be a toss of a coin and anyone could win but they look to have everything need to win

 

[chris.hinton]

In the Quarter finals is an impressive achievement

Can't see us actually beating Hampshire mind
